Precision Pest Control serves Avondale from the historic core near Western Avenue out through Coldwater Springs and Garden Lakes to the newer rooftops near Phoenix Raceway. Homes and commercial both, and in this city the Agua Fria River corridor sets the terms for most of what we deal with.


The Agua Fria runs the length of Avondale and it shapes the pest list. The river bottom and its brush hold pack rats, mosquitoes after any real flow, snakes, and the ground squirrels and cottontails that draw them. Properties backing the corridor see all of it. In the older agricultural blocks we get field mice, crickets, Argentine ants and roof rats in mature trees. Newer subdivisions near the raceway bring the usual Valley combination of bark scorpions, black widows in weep holes and subterranean termites working through caliche soil.
A dry river is still a wildlife corridor, and that is the part homeowners here tend to miss. The Agua Fria carries animal traffic through the middle of the city year round and moves a great deal more after a monsoon, when a channel that has been dust for months runs water and pushes everything living in the brush toward higher ground, which is somebody's backyard. We treat properties along that corridor on the river side first, sealing and baiting on the boundary rather than at the house, and we step service up in the weeks after a real storm rather than holding a flat schedule.
Away from the river, Avondale is old farm ground with newer housing on top of it, and that means rodent and cricket pressure that arrived with the construction rather than after it. Newer builds in this city commonly have gaps at utility penetrations and weep screeds that were never sealed. We find those on the first inspection and close them, which does more for a scorpion problem than any amount of repeat spraying. Same technician every visit, and we tell you plainly which of these two situations your property is in.
